\"organized<\/a>
\nWorking from a home office has\u00a0many advantages, such as a more flexible schedule, no commute and a relaxed dress code.<\/p>\n

Even though you don’t have to wear a suit to work from home, though, you do still have to deal with office clutter.<\/p>\n

Keep your home office<\/a> organized, tidy and clutter-free with these 7 tips.<\/p>\n

1. Keep your desk\u2019s surface space clear<\/h3>\n

A cluttered desk can be distracting. To avoid a mess, keep only the supplies and equipment you use everyday on your desk.<\/p>\n

2. Customize your drawers<\/h3>\n

Stuffing papers into your drawer might make your room look clean, but unorganized drawers can make important documents difficult to find. Use a filing system to keep both your room and cabinets tidy.<\/p>\n

3. Label, label, label<\/h3>\n

A good labeling system will keep you from wasting time searching for your stuff. Label the outsides of cabinets and drawers, as well as the folders inside.<\/p>\n

4. Get rid of old junk<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s easy to let clutter pile up and take up space. Go through all of your papers, books and supplies to get rid of the items you no longer need.<\/p>\n

5. Control your cables<\/h3>\n

\"QuirkyExcess cables are not only annoying, they\u2019re also an eyesore. You can eliminate some of the cords by going wireless (printer, keyboard mouse, etc.).<\/p>\n

Are USB cables, laptop power cables, or audio cables taking over your desk? Try using something like\u00a0Quirky Cordies Desktop Cable Management<\/a> to\u00a0tidy things up.<\/p>\n

6. De-clutter your computer<\/h3>\n

Your room is not the only area that needs de-cluttering. Organize your computer files and emails to make your work days more efficient, too.<\/p>\n

7. Set aside 10 minutes at the end of each day to clean<\/h3>\n

The best way to prevent your home office from becoming too messy and unorganized again is to pick up after yourself each day.<\/p>\n

Before you call it quits, take some time to put away files and clear your desk so you can start off the next day right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
